Occupational Therapist specializing in Sensory Processing and Somatic Experiencing as it relates to self regulation and trauma recovery. I work with infants, children and adults. I work with individuals who are experiencing late effects of trauma in conditions diagnosed as chronic pain, fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, RSD, etc. I work with trauma resultant from cultural fragmentation. I provide consultation and workshops for professionals, addictions facilities, schools and other organizations specializing in treating difficulties of autonomic dysregulation. I am fluent in English, Portuguese and Spanish.

I specialize in treating people who have sex and love addiction and compulsions. I have 13 years of experience in human sexuality, 7 specifically as a therapist providing recovery work for sex and love addiction. I also work with partners of addicts who have their own painful journey from the fallout of the addict's disclosure, the broken trust, shame,and codependency that surfaces from their relationship to the addict.I provide a reliable,responsible and time tested recovery method where people can turn their problematic sexual behaviors from destructive unmanageability to healthy, passionate sexuality.

I have been a psychotherapist in private practice for thirteen years. I work with individuals experiencing grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma and life transitions. I offer a compassionate, warm and non-judgmental environment. I use a holistic approach to therapy that includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and honors the relationship of mind, body and spirit. Working together, we will explore the meanings behind thoughts, feelings and behaviors that limit one's journey toward personal growth. We will create solutions to transform and overcome personal struggles. I tailor therapy to each individual’s issues, needs, concerns and goals. Pleased contact me for a 30 minute initial session at no charge to determine if your needs and my skills are a good fit.
